In this paper, by rearranging the order of each group from low penetration rate to higher ones, extensions of Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient are applied to represent the 'aggregate' state of the digital divide, including information access, information literacy, and information applications. Therefore, socio-economics factors can be compared with each other to distinguish the major ones result in digital divide. Moreover, by the concept of 'relative divide,' the effects of each group to digital divide are analyzed to reveal the group which should be paid close attention. In practice, by using the data from Digital Divide Report by the RDEC, Gini coefficients under different scenario are calculated to monitor the status of digital divide in Taiwan. |
